Chemical Treatment for Termite Infestation

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are quickly identified by termites and strongy avoided. So they provide excellent protection in treated locations. However, if not all locations can be reached, or the treated areas become compromised, white ants can recognise those gaps and get access through them once again.

The regularly frequently utilised chemical repellent is Bifenthrin, with a residual effectiveness of up to 5 years.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

Termites cannot identify these repellents. Because of this, they don’t avoid the treated places, and as a result die after contact with them. Additionally, individual termites can pass these chemicals on to other colony members, causing a compounding effect.

Given termites cannot tell the difference between treated areas to non-treated places, the possibility of termite ingress through non-treated gaps is much lower.

The often applied non-repellent chemical is Fipronil, which has a residual life of as much as eight years.

Termite Control Baiting Systems

Used to exterminate termites in a residence, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so that the termites feed on the bait matrix rather than the wood they were eating up to now. As well as killing the white ants that eat the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites then feed the bait to further colony members.

Continuing monitoring and assessment allows the bait stations to be re-baited, added to or moved, based on observed termite activity. In this manner, the entire nest can be elimited even if its location is not known.

In Ground Systems are used in a similar manner, but they’re usually installed around the property to create an early warning system for signs of a termite problem. Systems such as these are especially useful when the construction of the house can prevent effective perimeter barriers being created, as they can block termites before they can breach the boundary.

• Unaffected by weather
• Safe to use around kids and pets
